sparks of welded passion flew

torches unified

Author's Note

"And now that we have returned to the desultory life of the plain, let us endeavor to import a little of that mountain grandeur into it. We will remember within what walls we lie, and understand that this level life too has its summit, and why from the mountain-top the deepest valleys have a tinge of blue; that there is elevation in every hour, as no part of the earth is so low that the heavens may not be seen from, and we have only to stand on the summit of our hour to command an uninterrupted horizon." - Thoreau

Wonderfully encompassing poem...it seems incredibly vast in its brevity, enveloping, beautifully woven as always...

nice choice of words ruth - 'encompassing' and 'enveloping' - capturing the essence of love along with all of its struggles. thanks for your thoughts as always ... :)
